As an Indian, it’s quite laughable that you have India as the first candidate on this list. If anything, India will slip into fascism in the near future.
I think people always see that the communist party in India has 9 million + members and think it’s impressive but don’t take into account that that’s like 1% of the Indian population
I agree, as much as I wish it was the case. India is still a very far cry from a revolution. I see people bring it up on Lemmy a lot for some reason, I’m assuming because of the support in Kerala and WB. But thats just a drop in the ocean of the Indian political spectrum right now.
Its true that there have been some pretty large farmers protests, but for the most part a vast majority of the Indian population still supports the neo-fascist BJP and their Hindutva ideology. Mostly because of a huge amount of social media propaganda and a significant support base of Hindu nationalists all over the country. As for the conflict with militias I’m assuming you’re referring to the Naxalite insurgencies, they were gaining some traction in the early 2000s, but year after year they’ve died down and their presence is dwindling to the point of irrelevancy compared to what you’ll see from the right wing extremists with their constant lynchings and murders. You’ll only see the Naxals in the news when they’ve been arrested or killed by the police. So as far as armed revolution goes this certainly isn’t enough.
